Can't Install AdobeCS6 - Says License revoked - Purchased from Official Adobe Store

Community Beginner ,
Sep 29, 2022 Sep 29, 2022

I have an old CS6 Standard license purchased in early 2015.
It's installed on a laptop on its last leg, so I wanted to move it to a newer system. 

However, when I tried installing it on the new system, it said the license was revoked. 


The customer support link it provides, says it could be due to 3rd party seller that sold a volume license. 
However from the official Adobe (India) Store. I have the invoice and the emails from Adobe for reference. 


Could anyone please help me to resolve this issue?

@SB-101 and everyone else, adobe support is not going to restore a compromised license and they're not able to issue new ones. 

 

if you buy from a reputable vendor, report the problem to the vendor.  if you think the vendor is disreputable, report that to adobe here, https://www.adobe.com/genuine.html (see link at page bottom).

As mentioned in my original post, I bought it from Adobe directly. 
I have the emails from Adobe with the serial number and payment invoice for reference.

usually that would mean your serial number was hacked, or released by you to someone you were not authorized to release it to.

As mentioned before, I bought it from Adobe directly. I have not shared it with anyone.
Since you don't have anything useful to say to a legitimate customer, there's no point in continuing this conversation. I have contacted Adobe support and will wait for their official reply.

your issue isn't the same because you've already contacted adobe support and confirmed your license was revoked for a valid reason (likely no fault of your own).
